I have the 2007 UK DVD "Special Edition" release which has the longer extended cut and runs at 145 minutes in length...and that's the faster PAL time.

When the reviewer says it's 3 minutes longer, they must be talking about the original European theatrical version... The extended cut of the film actually has many more additional scenes in it than either theatrical version. It's much closer to around 20 minutes more of additional footage.

I also own the UK DVD which i got as a freebie with a Sunday newspaper a few years back. I take it that this is the longer version too. Maybe the Shout BD isnt much of an upgrade then if i already have this?
